Setting up a new 90 gallon reef tank. Been running now 3 weeks. No livestock yet. Just live rock, live sand in the tank. See attached pics.
Running a 3 chamber sump - Protein Skimmer, large refugim section complete with miracle mud and newly added 2 different plants spilling into a small chamber of bio balls which in turn feeds a medium size sump area with attached Phosban reactor. Temp is constant at 80.3-80.4. Tank has cycled nicely.
Will be installing Solaris LED lighting system on Monday so have no real idea on heat transfer from the lights although assuming less than .5 degrees total addition.
Looking at ATO systems and found this one:
http://www.c-horsesystems.com/clevel.htm
Anyone know anything about them or have another suggestion?
Looking at Chillers but would like one that at the minimum will control a heater as well or have a built in heater. After looking all over the web does anyone have a suggestion or recommendation? Current units seems to fit the bill, but JBJ seems to be the quietest. Will likely add a UV on as well.
This tank will have alot of live coral in it and I am very curious to learn more about calcium reactors/dispensers. Any recommendations as to brands?
Overall trying to set up this tank with minimal future maintenance in mind.
Am looking forward to being an active participant on this forum in sharing my experiences.
